Description
Trullo Checco offers guests the perfect combination of old and new; here you can stay in a 200-year-old home which retains stunning original features and sits in an enchanting rural setting, while at the same time enjoying all of the modern comforts you could need for a relaxing stay. Eight guests can be accommodated here and will be treated to bright and airy interiors which lead out in to a vast, landscaped garden with a private pool as well as an inviting hot tub.
As you approach the home through the expansive privately owned grounds which are filled with fruit and olive trees, you will be entering a peaceful oasis where you can truly unwind with your nearest and dearest. The garden is beautifully designed and well-equipped with a covered dining area, outdoor sofas under the shade of the trees and pretty patios where you can enjoy a drink in the sun. Guests can choose to soak in the hot tub or swim lengths of the large swimming pool, all the while taking in the delightful views.
Stepping in to the Trullo, the light and colours of the garden flow in to the rooms from the doors and windows, illuminating the period features such as the vaulted ceilings and the original stone floors. The four bedrooms; three double, en-suite rooms and one room with twin beds, each have a calming neutral colour palette and crisp linens to assure guests of a restful night’s sleep. When you wish to gather together for breakfast, you can do so in the open-plan living space which is just off the fully-fitted kitchen, unless you would prefer to take breakfast on terrace which is right outside.
The home enjoys a rural location enveloped by farmland, hills and valleys which you can traverse by bike or on foot. From the home you can also explore the natural beauty of Puglia’s coastline as the nearest beaches; a pebble beach and a long sandy beach are each under 20km away. If you would like to visit an authentic fishing village, lined with pristine beaches you should try Savelletri which is 37km away from the home.
The closest amenities to the villa can be found in Ceglie Messapica, a town which has a 2000-year history and is an 8km drive away. In addition you can drive to Locorotondo (31km away), this is a small town packed with clusters of cone shaped Trulli which are only found in this region and is a fantastic place to spend a day.
Those wishing for a day of shopping, visiting museums and ancient churches and enjoying a bit of café culture should head to Ostuni, the “white city” which is a mere 10km away from the house.
